Epson does printers well. I had the first color inkjet (hp) and the first epson color inkjet. OP the 2400 Epson also uses the k3 inks used in the 4800's on up at less than a $1000 13" wide (around $800). The 1800 uses the ultra-chrome very similiar inks even cheaper ($500 area).(13" wide) I think too.

No need to think outside the box....
